Real-Time Alarms with Hourly Summaries
The MyDro 150 reports all alarm data in real-time, ensuring operators are notified the moment conditions change. Pump state data is summarized and reported hourly, providing runtime trends without generating excessive cellular data traffic. Analog values are reported at current value on an hourly basis. This reporting profile is optimized for lift stations and pump stations where immediate alarm response is critical, but continuous streaming data is not required.
Simultaneous pump runtimes can be reported when two pumps are monitored, with three configurable pump run summary reporting channels for detailed pump performance tracking.
Extended Backup Battery Life
The MyDro 150 includes a 12V, 5Ah battery with an enhanced charging system that provides up to 50 hours of backup power during AC outages. This industry-leading backup duration means operators receive timely AC failure alarms and continue to monitor critical conditions throughout extended power events.
The backup battery also powers the optional Safe Module Plus expansion module, enabling high wet well alarms even when AC power is lost.
I/O Capabilities
- 8 onboard dry digital inputs with selectable wire fault supervision or direct attach current sensing switch; expandable to 16 with PN OP653 module
- 2 onboard analog inputs (4-20 mA isolated or 0-5 VDC) with 4 alarm set points each; expandable to 9 with PN OP465 module
- 3 remotely controllable relay outputs (Form C, dry contact, 5A at 30VDC, SPDT, N/O or N/C)
- 4 pulse input channels with Safe Module Plus expansion module (PN OP750) with 15-minute reporting
- 4 analog output channels (4-20 mA) with PN OP461 module
- RS485 support for all expansion modules
- Electronic key reader for site activity tracking
- Built-in inputs reported hourly: AC voltage, battery voltage, board temperature, and signal strength
LCD Touch Screen
The onboard LCD touch screen displays current RTU status including sensor readings, alarm states, and device health at a glance. Configurable options are accessible directly from the touch screen under the Config menu, allowing technicians to verify and adjust settings on-site without a laptop.
The touch screen also displays expansion module readings immediately when new modules are connected.
